wine & computers

Last night, I took a break from the disaster which is Brian’s laptop and we bottled two batches of wine–a Chardonnay/Viognier mix and a Riesling. The Riesling was superb! I pretty much stuck to it all evening, but the Chardonnay/Viognier was pretty good, too. I’m looking forward to drinking it in the future. So there’s another 50 or so bottles of wine for my racks.

Brian’s new hard drive came yesterday, so I’ve been trying to get his laptop back in order. I’m not quite sure when I became the IT wizard around here, but I guess we all have a cross to bear. I was having all kinds of problems getting our wireless access point working with the laptop yesterday, so I quit working on it and started from scratch this morning and at least he has the internet now. I’m currently installing all of the windows service packs. When that is done I’ll have to assess the rest of the damage–there are still some drivers I need to install, but I can’t seem to find them on the cds that came with the computer.

I just hope to finish it up this weekend because I’m ready to move onto some other project.
